News: 2 days agoMacKinnon (undisclosed) was back on the first line and No. 1 power-play unit ahead of Game 1 versus St. Louis, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Wednesday.
Spin: MacKinnon missed three games with an undisclosed injury that was deemed precautionary and has retaken all of his usual spots in the lineup. Prior to sitting out, the 29-year-old center was riding an eight-game point streak during which he compiled four goals and seven assists, including four power-play points. He'll look to re-establish that momentum following his short absence when the playoffs start up for Colorado on Saturday or Sunday.
